What we do

ANDS helps researchers to organise and manage their research data, promote and share it with other researchers, and locate other research data useful to them. We primarily engage at the institutional level, partnering with institutions to build infrastructure and share large numbers of research data collections. However, we can also assist individual researchers through our online services and our guides about issues in data management and sharing. We also run seminars and training sessions, and carry out site visits to assist with the technical details of data sharing.

If you have research data that you would like to share, please contact us. We can put you in touch with the appropriate people at your institution, or discuss other potential approaches, depending on the scale and kind of data.
